1QFY16 results marginally below estimates

Headline consolidated results missed our estimates marginally, with EBITDA and PAT lower than

estimated by around 2.5% each. The miss was marginal in terms of numbers, yet somewhat

material in the context of the steady business that BHIN is. Revenues of `30.2 bn, +6% yoy,

were in line with our expectations, with service rental revenues growing 9% yoy and energy

revenues growing by a muted 1.3% yoy. Muted growth in energy revenues, in our view,

reflects – (1) impact of lower diesel prices on pass-through contracts, and (2) likely downward

revision in contracted fixed charges (annual revision as new fiscal kicked in) on the fixed energy

contracts. We had expected muted energy revenue growth and hence, this did not come as a

surprise.

EBITDA grew 10% yoy but declined 3% qoq to Rs13 bn missing our estimated `13.3 bn by

2.5%. EBITDA margins, that were propped up by some one-off cost write backs and higher-

than-normal energy spread in 4QFY15, normalized to 43%, down 240 bps qoq but up 150 bps

yoy. Ex-energy margins were stable at around 66% while energy margins normalized to 5%

from 11% in 4QFY15. Recurring PAT of `5.76 bn (up 24% yoy) came in 2.4% below our

expected `5.9 bn, despite higher than expected other income.

Solid asset, but valuations too rich for our liking

BHIN’s results, despite the marginal miss on EBITDA, were broadly in sync with our view of the

business – (1) BHIN is a high-single-digit EBITDA growth story in the medium term; near-term

growth may be propped up by R-Jio network rollout but will normalize soon, and (2) tenancy

growth for the next 2-3 years will be driven primarily by 2G network expansion of Idea/

Vodafone and fresh 4G tenancy accretion from R-Jio, and (3) bulk of 3G/4G expansion by

incumbents (Bharti, Vodafone, and Idea) will show up in the form of loading for BHIN;

incremental tenancy addition on this count will likely be immaterial for the next 2-3 years and

by the time it becomes material, 2G expansion will likely stop being a source of fresh tenancies.

The last aspect of the above is where we differ from the Street. We continue to find BHIN a

solid, but over-valued, asset. We do not see any scope for meaningful upgrades to our FCF

forecasts in the DCF nor are we comfortable ascribing a sub-10% WACC to this net cash

company. We therefore see the CMP as overstretched already. Our SELL rating on the stock

stays. We shall update our earnings model post the earnings call.

1QFY16 – marginal miss; surprise element to support rich valuations missing.

BHIN’s 1QFY16 headline numbers were marginally below our expectations, with

services revenue and EBITDA increasing by 9.2% and 10% respectively. Free cash

generation was strong at 63.8% of EBITDA aided by a swing in working capital and

lower taxes. We continue to find the asset strong on fundamentals but overvalued. We

still do not see any strong reason to change our stance. Reiterate SELL.

KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 3

Operational and financial performance

Tower and tenancy additions – At a consolidated (100% of BHIN standalone + 42% of

Indus) level, tower base grew 3% yoy (to 86,397) while tenancy base grew 8.7% yoy (to

185,215). Tenancy ratio inched up marginally to 2.14 from 2.12 at end-4QFY15 and 2.03

at end-1QY15.

Tower expansion was in line with our expectations; however, tenancies fell 1.4% short of

estimates. We understand that R-Jio tenancy accretion was slow relative to the past two

quarters; this may not be a reflection of R-Jio’s overall rollout pace and may just be a

function of lower BHIN share of these tenancies in 1QFY16.

Rentals – Consolidated rentals were up 0.6% qoq and 0.3% yoy at `34,201 per tenant

per month, reflecting benefits of strong incremental 3G/4G loading revenues during the

quarter.

Tenancy and rental movements were both in line with our broad construct – that

the bulk of 3G/4G network expansion by the incumbents would be in the form of loading

and not fresh sites for the next 2-3 years (Idea management too corroborated our

view on this aspect in their 1QFY16 earnings call).

Capex – capex for 1QFY16 stood at `5 bn, broadly in line with quarterly capex levels seen

over the past six quarters. Maintenance capex was `1.4 bn as implied maintenance capex

per tower per annum remained around the `65,000 mark. We expect this number to

trend up over time to a `80,000-90,000 level, if not slightly higher. Implied upgrade

capex per incremental tenancy (upgrade capex defined as total capex less reported

maintenance less estimated new tower capex) was a meaningful `0.72 mn for the

quarter. This number has hovered in the `0.5-0.8 mn vicinity with the variance driven

perhaps by the extent of incremental loading in a quarter.

FCF – FCF generation was strong at `8.3 bn (63.8% of EBITDA), aided by positive swing

in net working capital (of `2.23 bn) and lower cash taxes. 4QFY15 had a negative

working capital swing of nearly the same magnitude; we understand that these swings

are on account of the company paying municipal and other taxes for the month of March

in March itself unlike other months when it pays in the following month. 4Q FCF is

understated and 1Q FCF is overstated to that extent; over a two-quarter time frame,

working capital change was marginal. On a TTM basis, FCF/EBITDA stood at 39%, good

but sub-par, in our view. Net cash, adjusted for unpaid dividends, stood at `36.3 bn, an

increase of roughly `9 bn qoq.

Management commentary reassuring; concerns on Jio and spectrum valid, but overdone

In a detailed post-earnings call, Idea management (1) was candid about its disappointment on

slight deceleration in data revenue growth trajectory in 1QFY16, (2) took pains to explain the

drivers for the increase in capex guidance, (3) reiterated its higher-than-peers confidence on the

still substantial volume growth potential in the voice market, and (4) detailed the reasons for

the company’s confidence in its ability to participate strongly in the evolving solid hi-speed data

growth story. We have been believers in the Idea story for long and see no reasons to change

our stance, despite Street’s concerns on R-Jio launch and on Idea’s data spectrum footprint.

On concerns over R-Jio entry, we strongly believe that the medium to long-term interests of R-

Jio (assuming it wants a viable business case within a reasonable timeframe) are closely aligned

to that of the incumbents (Bharti, Vodafone, and Idea). As for spectrum footprint (weak data

worries), we do not concur with some sections of the Street who see this as a cause of concern.

Idea’s spectrum footprint has to be viewed in the context of the company’s skewed revenue

footprint (top-10 circles contribute 79% of revenues) and analysis has to be done circle-wise.

We believe Idea has its fair share of 3G/4G spectrum in circles that matter and future will

provide ample opportunities (auctions, spectrum trading as and when permitted) to shore up

spectrum footprint.

Idea has smartly executed its just-in-time investment approach (on spectrum and network) in

the past and proved naysayers wrong (remember the voice capacity crunch concerns of 2012?).

There is of course the risk of execution slippage. However, this is a risk that applies to

companies in all sectors; more importantly, if asked to pick one Indian telco from an execution

standpoint, we would have no second thoughts on picking Idea.

Broadly retain estimates; reiterate BUY

Exhibit 1 shows the key changes to our FY2016-18E forecasts for Idea. We have raised our

revenue and capex forecasts and broadly retained our EBITDA and PAT forecasts. Our DCF-

based target price on the stock (adjusted for one-time retrospective spectrum payout demand)

stays unchanged at `220/share. BUY rating and preferred pick status stays.

IDEA (IDEA) Telecom

Retain estimates and remain positive. Idea management’s commentary on 1QFY16

earnings call was reassuring on nearly all counts. The company remains the best bet on

improving fundamentals of the Indian wireless industry, in our view. We expect Idea to

garner its fair share of the expected data market growth, Street’s concerns on the

company’s data spectrum footprint notwithstanding. We broadly retain our forecasts

and reiterate BUY with an unchanged target price of `220/share.

Detailed takeaways from the earnings call

Idea’s management, as usual, was highly responsive in addressing analyst/investor queries. It

discussed at length the thought process behind recent decisions taken by them. Below are a

few key aspects discussed.

LTE rollout and increased capex: The management emphasized that Idea is and was an

ROI focused company and based on its observations in the past few months it saw a

business case in advancing LTE rollouts. It cited the rapid uptake of 4G devices,

convergence between prices of 3G and 4G equipment and increasing willingness of

consumers as key drivers for advancing LTE rollout.

Cannibalization of legacy voice and SMS revenue streams: The company said that it

was witnessing SMS cannibalization due to OTT applications. However, voice

cannibalization is insignificant and is expected to remain at the same level. The

management indicated that only about 0.1-0.2% of the total voice traffic were carried on

VoIP. It also pointed out that even in developed markets (offering limited bundled

services), only about 1.5-2.5% of traffic was on VoIP. We also do not see VoIP becoming

a meaningful threat to traditional voice at least in the near future.

Data revenue trajectory: The management indicated that data volume growth

trajectory was broadly intact and marginal slowdown in upward data revenue growth

was due to lower data realizations. This was majorly driven by the increase in service

charge to 14% (as the company found it difficult to pass these through), lowering

breakage, and increased uptake of promotional packs.

Loading vs. new site rollouts for 3G/4G network expansion: The company said 3G

sites would largely be co-located for the next few years and did not see the need for

more than 1-2% standalone 3G sites. 4G sites would be100% co-located for a few years.

VAS/other revenues: The management said the sharp uptick in VAS revenue trajectory

was mostly a one-off and driven by additional revenue from IPL-related VAS and gaming.

Increase in ICR revenue also contributed to an extent.

New circles: The management said that for any circle to be profitable Idea would need at

least 10% revenue market share which it has not been able to achieve in its new circles.

Moreover, there was up-fronting of investments in these circles in 2014 which led to

losses at the EBITDA level. It also mentioned that although it was gaining traction in

voice-centric markets like West Bengal, it was facing issues in some non-3G emerging

circles which are changing from voice-centricity to voice-data centricity.

Network infrastructure: The company said that it was deploying 2G BTS which are

capable of running two or more technologies at minimal incremental cost. On the fiber

side, it is increasing investments by increasing the number of fiber hops from 1 hop for 8

sites to 1 for 4 sites. It indicated that while about 13-14% of the total sites are fiberized,

in the next two years almost all 3G/4G sites would be fiberized. It also mentioned that the

current capacity utilization of data sites was in the range of 50-60%.

For Private Circulation Only. FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KOTAK SECURITIES’ RATING SYSTEM AND OTHER DISCLOSURES, REFER TO THE END OF THIS MATERIAL.

Strong growth trajectory continues.

Bajaj Finance reported 30% growth in earnings to `2.75 bn, 2% ahead of estimates, on the back

of 35% growth in loan book (`355 bn). Calculated NIM was stable yoy. The benefit of recent

warrants and QIP issuance (June 2015) will be fully reflected in 2QFY16. Consumer finance loan

book (up 40% yoy) was the clear business driver; consumer business loans were up 25% yoy.

Investment returns support earnings; premium growth moderate at Bajaj General Insurance

Bajaj General Insurance reported 8% premium growth (12% yoy in 4QFY15) in net premium.

Underwriting profits remained low at `280 mn (17% yoy) and the majority of the earnings were

driven by investment book of `82 bn (up `4 bn qoq). The company reported PAT of `1.47 bn,

up 13% yoy.

Momentum picks up in line insurance

Bajaj Life reported 71% growth in new business premium. APE was up 22% yoy; gross premium

growth was driven by group business. Conservation ratio was stable at 69% yoy. The company

reported PAT of `2.4 bn after policyholders’ surplus of `990 mn was transferred to the

shareholders’ account; such transfer was not done in 1QFY15 and hence the 1QFY16 earnings

are not comparable with the historic figures.

Bajaj Finance add maximum value

We retain ADD rating on Bajaj Finserv with revised price target of `1,720 (up from `1,650).

Bajaj Finance (valued at 2.7X PBR FY2017E) is the largest contributor at 45% of SOTP- we

continue to believe in superior execution of Bajaj Finance and its ability to toggle across product

lines and innovate distribution channels. The life and general insurance businesses add 27%

and 26% respectively to the SOTP. We value the general insurance business at 2.6X PBR

FY2017E (medium-term RoE of 25%) and life insurance business at 1X EV (assuming 10% near-

term operating RoEV).

Bajaj Finserv (BJFIN) Banks/Financial Institutions

Bajaj Finance remains strong; Bajaj Life a tad better. Bajaj Finance continued to

deliver robust performance during 1QFY16 driven by buoyancy in consumer finance.

Bajaj Life Insurance reported 22% APE growth on the back of high momentum in unit

linked policies while Bajaj General Insurance had a muted quarter. We retain ADD

rating on the stock with a price target of `1,720 (`1,650 earlier).

Bajaj Finance: Consumer business drives growth

Bajaj Finance delivered 30% yoy growth in PAT to `2.75 bn driven by 31% NII growth. Loan

book growth remained strong at 32% yoy, driven by loans to consumers (up 42% yoy) and

small businesses (up 32% yoy). NIM (calculated) was stable yoy at 10%. Gross NPLs were

higher at 1.7% as compared to 1.13% in 1QFY15 largely due to a shift to 150 dpd NPL

norm from 180 dpd earlier.

We expect Bajaj Finance to report 19-20% RoE and 28% PAT CAGR between FY2015 and

FY2018E, driven by 26% CAGR growth in loans; EPS growth will be lower at 25% post the

recent capital issuance.

We conservatively build NIM compression due to eventual shift to business loans though

consumer loans have been the key growth driver for the past few quarters. We expect

overall operating expenses to decline due to (1) higher share of business loans and (2)

increase in cross selling/ loans to existing borrowers. Fee income from distribution of

insurance products of the group and a wealth management vertical remain upsides.

Exhibit 5: Bajaj Finance - quarterly financial statements March fiscal year-ends, 1QFY15-1QFY16 (` mn)

Multiple segments drive loan growth

Growth momentum remained strong. Bajaj Finance reported 32% yoy growth in loans

under management to `356 bn, driven by strong growth in consumer loans (39% yoy) and

business loans (26% yoy). We factor loan growth at 30% in FY2016E, and 26% CAGR

between FY2016 and FY2018E. Focus on new segments and distribution channel which

improves profitability are key strengths of its business model - the trends during the quarter

reinforce this thesis. Over the medium term, the management envisages a loan mix of –

35% consumer, 45% small business, 7-10% rural and 13-10% commercial.

KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 17

High growth in consumer business. Bajaj Finance delivered 39% yoy and 13% qoq

loan growth in the consumer finance segment to `149 bn. Consumer durable finance

and personal loans have been the key drivers. Consumer durables had another quarter of

strong growth with disbursements (# accounts) up 31% yoy and loan growth of 48%

yoy. Promotion efforts and electronic goods sales driven by IPL and extended summer

helped keep the momentum. Personal loan growth was also very strong at 73% yoy with

higher contribution (57%) coming from D2C channel. Digital and lifestyle finance

business grew strongly 2.5X from a low base. The company has around 20% market

share in consumer durable loans. As for the digital loan portfolio (i.e. mobile phone

financing), it is the largest lender for Apple phones and higher-ticket Samsung phones.

Auto and infra finance remain sluggish. Two-wheeler and three-wheeler loans

declined 8% yoy on the back of slowing sales and lower penetration of Bajaj Auto in

2W/3W market. Infra segment continues to be weak with 10% yoy decline.

LAP: Slowing down; concerns on loans against plot. Bajaj Finance has been slowing

down in the LAP business, in line with recent trends; this segment delivered 13% loan

growth - significantly lower than 32% AUM growth. Bajaj Finance was one of the early

entrants in this segment. With rising competition and declining profitability, the company

is now smartly slowing down. Management highlighted that within LAP, loans against

plot had high delinquency and they have already ceased new disbursements in this

segment. There is an effort to increase the share of direct originations (as compared to

distributors) as the churn rates tend to be much lower along with lower cost of

acquisition. Home loan growth was strong at 26% on a low base.

Rural business grows from a low base. Rural lending business was in the pilot stage till

3QFY15 and scaled up in 4QFY15. 1QFY16 loan growth was over 50% qoq.

Management expects the share of this segment to increase to 6% over the next three

years from 1% currently. 15 new branches were opened across Karnataka, Gujarat and

Maharashtra. The focus here is on the affluent rural customers by offering them working

capital and LAP products.

Ecommerce financing tie-up with Flipkart. Bajaj Finance launched a ‘seller finance’

venture with Flipkart last quarter and with disbursement of `39.6 mn. Bajaj will also

launch a ‘consumer finance’ scheme with select ecommerce companies in the Jul-Sep

quarter.

NIM declines 180bps qoq due to seasonality; stable yoy

Bajaj Finance’s NIM (calculated) improved ~120bps qoq to 10.0% which is explained by

seasonally higher NIM in the first and third quarters during which income is booked upfront,

thus inflating margins. NIM was flat yoy.

NPLs slightly up qoq

Gross NPLs increased 18 bps qoq and 52 bps yoy to 1.7%. Marginally higher NPLs were due

to reporting change from 180 days-past-due (dpd) to 150 dpd. Provision expenses grew

25% yoy to `1.0 bn during the quarter but this is ‘business-as-usual’ and does not reflect

change in NPL recognition policy. Provision coverage ratio stood at 68%.

Weak headline numbers alone do not fully reflect underlying operating challenges

JSW Energy’s consolidated earnings declined 15% yoy to `2.7 bn, not fully reflecting the extent

of underlying weakness as earnings were boosted by `432 mn of non-recurring accruals

pertaining to settlement of tariffs for the transmission business. Adjusted for the non-recurring

accruals (`432 mn) and adjusting the base for earnings contribution from banked energy,

adjusted profit of `2.4 bn was down 20% yoy. Weakness in earnings was on account of (1)

11% yoy decline in net generation at 4.5 BU, (2) drop in blended realizations by 1% yoy to

`4.18/kwh, and (3) losses of `210 mn attributable to the joint venture with Toshiba for power

equipment manufacture. Impact on earnings was cushioned by (1) decline in blended fuel cost

by 7% yoy to `2.17/kwh, and (2) higher other income of `1 bn (compared to `750 mn factored

by us).

Demand moderation yields lower PLFs pressures merchant realizations

The lowered energy deficit across regions yielded a 17% yoy decline in adjusted standalone net

profits at `1.7 bn. Earnings weakness reflects (1) 10% yoy decline in net generation at 3 BU,

and (2) blended realizations at `4.2/kwh (-5% yoy). We note that reported earnings for the

preceding quarter include the sale of banked energy that contributed `2.2 bn to the revenues

and `330 mn of EBITDA. Management attributed the lower generation to (1) weakness in

demand, and (2) shut-down of 300 MW plant at Ratnagiri. We expect the weakness in

generation to continue in the coming quarter owing to lower demand in the monsoon season

as well as shut-down of 300 MW capacity at Vijaynagar for a large part of 2QFY16.

Maintain SELL rating—leverage, equity dilution may weigh even as positives are priced in

We see limited upside from likely moderation in prices of imported coal from hereon, even as

the risk of lower merchant realizations in South India could weigh on blended realizations of

standalone operations. Incremental equity raising and stabilization of potential coal-based

power capacities coupled with risk of yet-to-be finalized tariff order for Barmer could further

weigh on stock performance. Our estimates do not factor the earnings from hydro assets that

could contribute Rs0.4/share. Maintain SELL rating with target price of Rs81/share.

JSW Energy (JSW) Utilities

Demand weakness comes to the fore. JSW Energy reported weak earnings with

adjusted net income of `2.4 bn reflecting 20% yoy decline compared to the same

period last year. Weak earnings performance was led by 11% yoy decline in generation,

even as some moderation in fuel cost was off-set by continued benefit of declining fuel

cost. Demand environment for operational merchant capacities appears challenging,

even as acquisition of hydro assets could necessitate incremental capital raising.

Maintain SELL rating and target price of `81/share.

Monnet—project cost, negative bid in coal auction may weigh on valuations

JSW Energy has entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding to acquire

1,050 MW of coal-based capacity belonging to Monnet Ispat and Energy. Monnet Power

had up to March 2014 incurred capex of `49 bn against a debt of `40 bn and an estimated

project cost of `71 bn. Monnet has PPAs in place and also won a coal block in the recently

concluded coal block auction.

MPC won the coal block Utkal C at a negative bid of `770/ton to fuel its power plant. Utkal

C (in proximity to the plant) has a production capacity of 3.4 mtpa and reserves of 124 mn

which if ramped up could well take care of the needs of the power plant. We highlight

however, that extant PPAs may not make the negative bid in the coal auction a viable option

for the coal plant and the consideration to be paid by JSW Energy should be seen in the

context of the negative spread on coal auction.

JPVL—hydro asset acquisition an interest-rate arbitrage for annuity cash flows

JSW Energy has agreed to acquire the hydro assets of Jaiprakash Power Ventures

aggregating 1,391 MW for an enterprise value of `97 bn—comprising debt of Rs58 bn and

equity value of `39 bn compared to KIE estimate of `37 bn. We note that of the debt of

`58 bn, regulated debt is `45 bn with debtor’s securitization accounting for the balance `13

bn. JSW Energy is looking to fund the acquisition by incremental borrowing of `39 bn at the

parent entity that will also bring with it the additional tax shield on interest cost for

acquisition debt.

JSW Energy will likely accrue incremental profits of `0.6 bn (`0.4/share) as it looks to enjoy

the arbitrage between a 20% regulated return project (13% RoE on premium paid), funded

by acquisition cost post-tax interest cost of 9%.

The two hydro projects have a regulated equity of `26 bn and regulated debt of `45 bn,

implying that the current consideration paid for the asset reflects a P/B multiple of 1.7X.

While we concede that the acquired assets enjoy a superior return profile, with RoE in excess

of 20% owing to a higher base return (16-16.5%) and lucrative incentives, part of the cash

flows have already been securitized.

Moderate growth in earnings

Muthoot Finance (Muthoot) reported PAT of `1.83 bn, up 2% yoy and 11% qoq. NII was flat

qoq as loan growth (up 4% qoq to Rs244 bn) offset 40bps NIM compression to 9.3%. Opex

ratio was down to 4.7% from 5.1% in 4QFY15 as Muthoot retained focus on cost reduction.

Gradual growth in loans; interim pressure on NIM

Muthoot Finance is making concerted efforts to market gold loans and exit from a transaction-

oriented approach followed earlier. The company recently launched gold loan products catering

to the middle class like home loan margin funding facility, gold overdraft facility etc. To push

the product to the middle-class, Muthoot dropped gold loan rates recently. While banks have

reduced base rates, the benefit was not fully passed on leading to NIM pressure (down 30 bps

to 9.3%). We expect pressure on NIM to be lower here on but nevertheless remain high.

Gold price reduction is a risk, Muthoot well placed

Shielded by currency depreciation, gold prices in India have corrected by 12% since Jan 2015;

30% from its peak as compared to 70% in global gold prices. Muthoot reported negligible NPL

throughout the transition, demonstrating the virtue of its risk management systems. Its loan

book declined by 21% from peak to a high base i.e. 80-100% yoy growth in the previous three

years. With a low base (yoy decline in last two years), we find limited impact as compared to the

previous down-cycle. Muthoot’s concerted efforts to market its products to the middle class will

reduce the impact, in our view. We factor 12% growth in gold loan book during FY2015 (as

compared to 10% over the past six months).

Improving trends ignored by the street; retain BUY

While volatile gold prices could hamper near-term growth trajectory, innovative product

marketing and gradual decline in lending will help offset this. Gold loan is a short term product

and hence growth acceleration is gradual and does not follow a linear pattern. Exhibit 2

highlights that loan and earnings growth reduced to 50-80% in FY2012 from over 100% in the

previous two years and gradually moved into negative trajectory in FY2014.

Muthoot Finance (MUTH) Banks/Financial Institutions

Growth on track, NIM weak. Muthoot’s loan growth remains on track (loan book up

4% qoq) as its marketing efforts yielded results. However, the company has reduced

lending rates ahead of base rate reduction by banks leading to pressure on NIM. We

remain positive of the gold loan opportunity in India; Muthoot’s concerted efforts to

grow the business will reduce the likely impact of decline in gold prices. We revise

estimates to factor lower near-term NIM. Retain BUY with price target of `250.

14% yoy loan growth

Muthoot reported 4% qoq growth in loan book (14% yoy growth) to `244 bn. Average

gold price was down 1% qoq, but in July alone prices corrected by 4.6%.

We factor loan book growth at 12% in FY2016E (10% in the past six months) which will

likely improve to 19% by FY2017-18E. Volatility in gold prices can hamper growth to some

extent. We think any pick-up in business momentum is likely to be sharp rather than gradual

and linear.

NIM declined ~40bps qoq

NIM increased 40bps qoq to 9.3% on a calculated basis. Calculated spreads were down

60bps to 7.5%. Decline in NIM and spreads have come from decline in interest rates without

benefit from lower cost of funds fully flowing through in this quarter.

We expect spreads to improve as borrowing costs moderate by ~10 bps in FY2016E.

Reduction in bank base rates will drive down borrowing cost hereon. Incremental

borrowings are low in the backdrop of moderate loan growth; as such lower marginal

borrowings cost has limited impact on average borrowings cost.

Operating expenses below estimates

Muthoot continues to deliver well on the cost front as total operating expenses raised only

2% yoy to `2.8 bn, 6% below our estimates. Both staff cost and admin expenses growth

were controlled at 4-5% yoy as there was marginal reduction in employee headcount and

number of branches qoq.

We factor cost-to-average assets ratio to decline to 4.2% in FY2016E (compared to 4.4% in

FY2015) as higher loan growth outpaces ~4% yoy increase expected in FY2016E. We factor

cost-to-average assets to further decline to 3.9% by FY2018E as business volumes increase.

4QFY15. Muthoot’s provision expenses declined to `105 mn from `216 mn qoq. This was

driven by lower credit losses of `30 mn. The company maintained its provision coverage at

Long term loans and non-fund based activities are key drivers.

SKS reported strong performance during 1QFY16 with 24% growth in PAT to `610 mn (our

estimate of `480 mn) largely driven by 72% yoy and 15% qoq loan growth, 60% growth in

other income. SKS’s focus on long tenure products (driving 73% of the qoq loan growth) and

increasing its non-fund based income (BC origination and third party distribution) were the key

drivers.

SKS Bank: A strong model but tall task ahead.

We believe that SKS’s small finance bank, if granted a license, will provide a banking platform

for microfinance loans, raise micro deposits and distribute third-party products aided by local

touch points/ BCs. Large equity infusion (Rs29 bn, 43% of current market cap) to comply with

shareholding requirements of RBI and costs of local touch points will temper SKS’s profitability

in the initial years. We however believe that improvement in productivity of the sales force will

partially offset the same. Cost of regulatory compliance will be negligible as SKS’s loan book

qualifies to be PSL and likely lower borrowings cost from debt markets/ interbank will offset the

carry of CRR and SLR.

Raise price target; factor in prospects of the bank

We are revising our price target for SKS to `580/ share. At our price target, SKS will trade at

4.5X PBR FY2017E. The valuation is undoubtedly rich despite the high growth trajectory of SKS.

We however take cognizance of likely conversion of SKS into a bank. Our price target reflects

40% probability of SKS Bank and 60% as MFI. At the fair value estimate, SKS (MFI) will trade at

3.5X PBR FY2017E. At its fair value, SKS’s banking model will trade at 3X PBR FY2017E. Exhibit

2 shows the sensitivity of the price target to the valuation multiple for the bank and probability

assigned for conversion to the banking format.

SKS Microfinance (SKSM) Banks/Financial Institutions

Strong performance. SKS reported stellar results with 15% qoq and 72% yoy loan

growth driving 60% growth in earnings before tax. Focus on higher ticket loans and fee

income (distribution income and loan origination fee for banks) provides the icing on its

strong business momentum. We believe that SKS is one of the most deserving

candidates to get a small bank license and is well placed to migrate to a bank. We

revise estimates and discuss the likely banking model of SKS. Our revised price target

(`580 versus `460 earlier) factors SKS’s high growth trajectory and prospects of a bank.

Key highlights of 1QFY16 results

LTL loans drive loan growth

SKS’s average ticket size increased to Rs13,369, up 26% yoy but flat qoq. Long term loans

(LTL), loan with tenure of 104 weeks for borrowers who have completed at least two loan

cycles contributed to 73% of the qoq loan growth; the average loan size in LTL is

Rs29,641.Despite increase in loan size, SKS’s average ticket remains lower than peers (see

Exhibit 3 and 4) and provides significant scope for growth.

SKS increased its concentration in Maharashtra but declined in West Bengal. It reported a

strong growth in loan book across states, however growth has been particularly high in

Maharashtra (120bps qoq increase in share in SKS’s loan book to 12.8%). West Bengal’s

share decreased 80bps to 9.4%. Top three states in terms of concentration are Orissa

(17.1%), Karnataka (14.9%) and Maharashtra (12.3%).

We forecast loan book of `61 bn by March 2016 and `84 bn by March 2017. We believe

that SKS’ growth will be driven by branch expansion of about 10% yoy leading to 25%

growth in active borrowers and increase in average ticket size of 15% in FY2016E followed

by 10% annual growth in FY2017E and FY2018E.

Higher investment income and distribution income boost other income

SKS’s other income was high at `653 mn (our estimate of `270 mn),the key reason for

earnings increase.

Higher loan growth has driven higher loan processing fees.

Higher cash on balance sheet (accumulated towards end of March post loan sell down)

has driven high investment income; this will moderate down over the next few months.

Distribution income was driven by (1) fees on distribution of third party products (the

company distributed 0.4 mn worth products in 1QFY16 as compared to 0.26 mn in

4QFY15) and (2) higher fees for originating loans for banks (Rs120 mn versus Rs70 mn

qoq).

Recovery from AP loans was however low.

We are raising our estimates to factor the higher trajectory of fee income from distribution

and loan origination for banks.

NIM improves, SKS will reduce lending rates from July 2015

Margin (calculated, including loan securitization) expanded 40 bps qoq 10.3%. Spread on

balance sheet assets expanded to 11.2% from 9.2% due to higher asset yields qoq as a

consequence of high loan growth in the beginning of the period. SKS had high cash on

balance sheet (Rs17 bn) on March 2015 which declined to Rs10 bn in June 2015. Higher

balance during the quarter boosted investment income; this will decline over the next few

quarters.

The company is clearly in a sweet spot on NIM and has proposed to reduce its lending rates

(for new loans) by 150 bps from 2QFY16. Unlike 3QFY15, SKS is reasonably confident of

handling the transition of change in interest rates after the implementation of its new IT

system.

Other highlights for the quarter

SKS paid tax at MAT rate of 21%. Large write-off of AP loans 1QFY15 and hence did not

provide for any tax liability.

NPL remained low 0.2% of loan book despite high growth at SKS.

SKS BANK: HIGHER SALES PRODUCTIVITY, OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES ON MANAGING

LOCAL TOUCH POINTS

SKS Bank will likely migrate loan disbursements to the banking format i.e. loans will be

credited to borrower’s bank account. The banking platform will also permit SKS to mobilize

savings at the bottom of the pyramid (though not very significant) into retail deposits.

However, SKS’s microfinance model entails limited branches and hence it will need support

from local touch point/ banking correspondents to convert the loan/ bank deposits to cash

and/or collect weekly cash installments. SKS’s ability to improve the productivity of its sales

force (wherein cash handling will be now be lower) and managing efficiency of local touch

points will drive its profitability. Prospects and challenges of SKS Bank are discussed in

further detail in our note ‘Understanding the small finance bank model’ dated March 05, 2015.

Low regulatory cost for SKS Bank

The entire loan book of SKS qualifies to be PSL and 30% of the book is deployed in

agriculture and animal husbandry, much higher than the required exposure of 18% to

agriculture. Hence, the cost of compliance for its small finance banks is primarily for

maintaining CRR and SLR. Reduction in SKS’s borrowing’s cost (11-12% currently) on

migration to the interbank window, decline in cash on balance sheet (currently due to loan

sell down and surplus liquidity) will largely offset the aforesaid cost, in our view. Its retail

deposits (from microfinance borrowers and beyond) will however likely remain low; CASA

ratio will be almost negligible in the initial years.

Large capital issuance to comply with promoter shareholding requirements

SKS, if granted a license, will likely float the small finance bank as a 100% subsidiary. The

company will transfer its lending business to the subsidiary. RBI guidelines mandate

promoter to be a domestic entity. SKS has 70% foreign shareholding. It would therefore

need to raise capital from domestic entities to bring down foreign shareholding to 49%. A

back of the envelope calculation suggests that SKS will need to raise `30 bn from domestic

investors.

1QFY16—a strong quarter on all counts

PVR reported an excellent quarter on all counts—(1) footfalls grew 25% yoy to 19 mn (KIE 17.9

mn) powered by the box office success of a number of Bollywood and Hollywood movies (Tanu

weds Manu returns, PIKU, ABCD 2, Fast & Furious 7, Avengers 2, etc.), (2) F&B spends per head

(SPH) increased 16% yoy to `74 and F&B gross margin improved to 73% from 69%. (3)

average ticket price (ATP) was up 4% yoy, and (4) ad revenues grew 27% yoy (18% for

comparable properties). Strong all round performance resulted in EBITDA margin expansion of

800 bps yoy to 23% aided by 600 bps yoy increase in occupancy to 38%. EBITDA at `1.13 bn

was up 106% yoy. Net profit at `580 mn was higher than that reported for full year FY2015.

We note that multiplex business has high operating leverage—a 200 bps increase in occupancy

impacts EBITDA by 20-25%.

1Q content performance can’t be extrapolated, but we like the blueprint

The solid performance of PVR highlights: (1) there is strong latent demand for good content.

Comparable properties’ footfalls grew 16% yoy, (2) a big-star (with one of the three Khans)

blockbuster movie is not ‘must’ for a good quarter, (3) four of the top 5 movies were sequels,

all of which grossed higher collections than the original movie/previous sequel, and (4) English

content contributed 30% to PVR’s revenues in 1Q (versus 18-20% in FY2015) boosted by the

success of sequels. 1Q doesn’t necessarily insure stable content performance in the future, but

we believe it should not be dismissed as one-off. It demonstrates that Bollywood can reduce

content volatility over time with more sequels. Further, better traction for English content would

add stability to multiplex businesses. We believe this theme would play out gradually over time.

We continue to like the PVR story; retain our BUY rating

PVR, India’s largest multiplex chain, exhibits leadership on all fronts—premium location

presence and branding, organic expansion, monetization of footfalls (F&B/ad revenues) and

profitability. It is well positioned to participate in the strong multi-year growth of multiplexes

supported by demographics, rising income levels, propensity for movies and huge supply of

content. We raise FY2016-17E EBITDA estimates by 19-21% and TP to `900 from `800, valuing

it at 12X EV/EBITDA.

PVR (PVRL) Media

Blockbuster quarter. PVR delivered a historic quarter on all counts – more remarkable

as this was without any help from blockbuster Bollywood movies (scheduled over 2Q-

3Q). Since content continues to rule (not necessarily from Bollywood), its

unpredictability constrains us from extrapolating PVR’s YTD FY2016E performance

beyond FY2016. We incorporate 1Q, build a strong 2Q, incorporate DT cinemas

acquisition and raise FY2016-17E EBITDA estimates by 19-21% and TP to `900 (12X

FY2017E EV/EBITDA) from `800. Retain BUY.

Key takeaways from 1QFY16 and conference call highlights

There is strong latent demand for good content. A 16% yoy growth in footfalls of

comparable properties’ (same stores) is the highest in the past 3 years. It affirms that

there is strong demand notwithstanding the lackluster consumer discretionary spend. We

note that Bollywood movies released in 1Q were neither blockbusters nor exceptionally

good yet did good business. Additionally, PVR’s success at taking a 16% increase in F&B

spends per head is commendable

Growing penchant for English movies: Three English movies delivered strong box

office performance in 1Q (Fast & Furious 7, Avengers 2 and Jurassic World 2).

Interestingly, these three movies grossed between `700 mn and `1bn. We are pleasantly

surprised by the collections of English movies. Note that each of these movies have more

than doubled its box office collections in India as compared with its previous sequel. This

is encouraging and augurs well for PVR as we expect a steady supply of Hollywood

movies.

Success of Bollywood sequels. 1Q saw the success of two sequels ‘Tanu weds Manu

returns’ and ABCD 2. The net box office collections (NBOC) of these movies were almost

4X/3X that of their original versions. We believe the success of these sequels would

trigger more producer and investment interest in sequels. We note that Hollywood has

succeeded in reducing content volatility by producing sequels that now contribute

disproportionately to Hollywood box office. Sequels have the benefit of tried and tested

premises that have loyal audiences and hence can generate recurring revenue streams.

Strong start to 2QFY16. The management indicated that July 2015 has been the

strongest month in the history of Indian box office powered by the success of mega

hits—Bahubali and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

Impressive improvement in F&B spends. PVR’s F&B spends per head (SPH) increase

16% yoy to `74. PVR has demonstrated strong growth in SPH on a consistent basis led by

new food offerings, innovative packaging and increased convenience in ordering food. In

addition to this, the company has increased gross margin of F&B business by about 400

bps to 73% at consolidated level. The management indicated that this was driven by

better negotiations with vendors and moving production of few food offerings in house,

such as pizza, corn etc.

Smart growth in ad revenues. PVR’s ad revenues grew 27% yoy led by 18% growth in

comparable properties’ (same store) ad revenues and balance from screen additions. The

growth in comparable properties was driven by yields, volumes and innovations such as

increase in off-screen advertising. The management has guided 18-20% growth in ad

revenues in FY2016.

DT Cinemas acquisition. The management indicated that it would take 90-120 days to

procure approvals for DT Cinemas acquisition.

Summary of changes to estimates

We raise our FY2016E revenues/EBITDA estimates by 4/19% as we incorporate 1Q

outperformance of estimates and build in a strong 2QFY16. We have also incorporated the

DT Cinemas acquisition (expected early 4QFY16) and factored in the equity dilution (5 mn

shares issued to Multiples Private Equity at `700/share). We build EBITDA of `350 mn from

DT Cinemas in FY2017E as against management guidance of about `450 mn. The

contribution of DT Cinemas to FY2016 financials would be negligible as 4Q is a seasonally

weak quarter. An increase in our margin estimate is driven by a marginal increase in

occupancy forecast, higher gross margin on F&B sales and impact of acquisition (DT Cinemas

margins expected to be higher than PVR after synergy benefits).

Cairn merger – majority approval from minorities difficult without support of major minorities

Unauthenticated media reports indicate that large minority shareholders of Cairn India including

(1) LIC (9.1% stake), and (2) Cairn Energy, UK (9.8% stake) may vote against a merger with

Vedanta. The merger requires an approval from a majority of minority shareholders of Cairn

India (minority stake is 40.1%) and a veto by these two shareholders (whose combined stake is

18.9%) could jeopardize the deal; media reports also indicate that another shareholder, United

India Insurance (small stake), does not approve of merger either. The common disagreement

appears to be Cairn’s valuation and expectations of a sweeter deal, though we note that Cairn

Energy prefers direct crude exposure through a continued holding in Cairn India instead of

getting exposure to diversified resources group, i.e. Vedanta.

Cairn merger critical for Vedanta to short out tight liquidity at parent(s) level

The merger with Cairn India is critical to Vedanta (and Vedanta Resources Plc) as it will

substantially improve tight liquidity at the parent entities given the large debt and limited cash

flows. Exhibit 3 compares net debt levels and EBITDA at Vedanta’s standalone balance sheet

(including wholly-owned subsidiaries) in a no-merger and merger scenario with Cairn. Net

debt/EBITDA for the parent (including wholly-owned subsidiaries) will improve on merger to

4.4X/3.4X for FY2016/17E from 11.7X/8.5X in a no-merger scenario.

Sweetened deal can be via preferential shares; merger failure may result in holdco discount

If Vedanta decides to sweeten the deal, it may only do so with a higher amount of preference

shares rather than an increase in the equity share swap ratio of 1:1 (Cairn: Vedanta). At the

proposed swap ratio, the promoter’s holding in Vedanta will fall to 50.1%, just enough for

Vedanta Resources Plc to maintain its premium listing in London. An additional increase of

`10/share in preference shares would increase the Cairn’s valuation by `7.5 bn (or ~1.5% of

market capitalization).

Vedanta’s strategic investment in Cairn was a part of its strategy to become a diversified major

natural resources major; the proposed merger has fueled Street expectations of a simplified

corporate structure in the new unified entity. The failure to merge Cairn will make difficult for

Vedanta to access the former’s cash flows unless through tax inefficient dividends and may

warrant a holding company discount.

Vedanta (VEDL) Metals & Mining

Cairn merger–minorities in majority? Unauthenticated media reports indicate that

two large minority shareholders of Cairn India may vote against the merger. The

concerns appear to hinge of valuation. If Vedanta does indeed sweeten the deal for

minority shareholders, every `10/share increase in Cairn valuation through preference

shares will impact Vedanta’s fair value by `2/share. The failure to merge Cairn with

Vedanta would make it difficult for the latter to access Cairn’s cash flows unless

through tax inefficient dividends and may warrant a holding company discount.

Exhibit 3 compares pre-merger net debt levels and EBITDA at Vedanta’s standalone balance

sheet (including wholly-owned subsidiaries) with the same post its merger with Cairn. On

the Cairn merger, the debt position in the parent entity will improve materially. Vedanta had

net debt of `778 bn as of March 2015 in its standalone balance sheet (including wholly

owned subsidiaries) with cash reserves of `517 bn lay with HZ, Cairn India. On assuming

Cairn’s merger, net debt at standalone level (and wholly owned subsidiaries) will decline to

`597bn/`577 bn for FY2016/17E compared to `830 bn/`826 bn in a pre-merger scenario.

Net debt/EBITDA post-merger entity will improve to 4.4X/3.4X for FY2016/17E from

Merger can facilitate debt repayment to Vedanta Resources Plc

We note that the Vedanta Ltd.’s, parent entity, Vedanta Resources Plc had net debt of

US$7.7 bn as of March 2015 on its balance sheet while solely relying on the cash flows from

Indian subsidiaries for debt servicing as its Zambian copper operations struggle with low

profitability (Exhibit 4).

Vedanta Resources Plc has debt maturity of US$2.4 bn due in FY2016/17E. Vedanta

Resources Plc had earlier loaned US$2.7 bn to TSMHL (wholly-owned subsidiary of Vedanta

Ltd (India) and debt pertains to the Cairn India acquisition. We believe the merger can

facilitate loan repayment by TSMHL to Vedanta Resources Plc, thereby easing the high

leverage at the parent entity.

Understanding the source and destination of container traffic important to gauge the shift

In Exhibit 1/2, we highlight 11 major industrial clusters in India which constitute around 85% of

the cargo traded by India globally (around 60% is concentrated in North and West based

states). The source and destination of container traffic is getting concentrated either closer to

the ports (industrial clusters in Gujarat and Maharashtra, where DFC will have limited impact) or

close to the hinterlands (NCR, Punjab, Haryana, etc., where DFC will have a positive impact).

The shorter lead distances to and from inland destinations may not necessitate rail

transportation. Also in certain longer lead distance, lower volumes or the lack of two-way traffic

inhibits introducing container train services, in the present pricing scheme.

Feedback from industry participants suggests that around 65-70% of traffic is already being

handled by rail from western based ports, to key hinterland markets in the National Capital

Region (NCR). At present, of the ~2.7 mn TEUs of EXIM trade carried by Indian rail, around 0.9

mn TEUs is captured by north based ICDs (Appendix I). These points indicate that the benefit for

a container rail operator, post commissioning of DFC, will be gradual (though yearly growth

rates should improve meaningfully) vs. a sharp spurt that is widely expected.

Higher growth in major north-based cargo centres only post commissioning of DFC and DMIC

Any major shift or higher growth in trade at the existing major cargo centres can only happen

post commissioning of the DFC and supplemented by the DMIC project. We note that in

anticipation of DFC/DMIC commissioning and medium-term demand increase, a large amount

of capacity addition (eventual capacity) has already materialized or work is already under

progress in north India (Exhibit 4). Our analysis indicates an overall quantum (eventual capacity)

of ~5.3 mn TEUs of which about 20% is utilized presently. These ICDs are strategically located

to cover growing industrial hubs in NCR (Gurgaon, Manesar, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Bhiwadi,

Rewari, Dharuhera, Neemrana, Hisar, Panipat, Sonepat). With better rail connectivity, post DFC

commissioning, these industrial hubs are likely to blossom providing good long-term growth

opportunities for container train operators. Benefits from DFC for a rail operator would flow

through higher efficiency/productivity gains (higher double-stacking, lesser investment in

wagons, faster turnaround- 360 containers per train in around 24 hours from JNPT to NCR vs.

90 containers in around 40-50 hours, at present).

No major improvement in cost economics for road operator vs. improving rail economics

Implementation of GST will benefit both rail/road operators in terms of time and cost related

savings. For rail cum ICD operators the hub and spoke model will gain more prominence on the

implementation of GST/DFC. For road operators, implementation of electronic toll collection will

reduce operating costs while gradual reduction in overloading on stricter monitoring and

implementation will be a negative. Overall, in the emerging scenario, it is difficult to envisage

improvement in cost economics of road operators vs. improving economics for rail operators.

Infrastructure India

Rail operators—moving into sweet spot. Our recent visit to three ICDs in the

National Capital Region (NCR), concurrent discussion with industry participants and

analysis embeds the view of superior long-term volume growth economics for container

rail operators. While commissioning of the DFC project will be an important variable in

the journey of shift (higher share) from road to rail, other variables (source and

destination of container based on industrial cluster, GST, truck operators emerging

economics) too need to be kept in mind while envisioning the shift. Concor and

Gateway Distriparks are well placed to capture the opportunity.

Commissioning of DFC may be an important variable towards higher container

rail share, though other variables too need to be kept in mind:

Our recent visit to three ICDs in the National Capital Region (NCR), concurrent discussion

with industry participants and subsequent analysis embeds the view of superior long-term

volume growth economics for container rail operators. While commissioning of the

Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) project will be an important variable in the journey of shift

(higher share) from road to rail, other variables (important to gauge the shift) too needs to

be kept in mind while envisioning the shift (overall shift difficult to quantify).

Key monitorables to gauge the extent of shift are (1) Source and destination of container

traffic based on existing industrial clusters, (2) Shift or higher growth in major cargo centres

(especially north) post commissioning of DFC and DMIC, (3) DFC led efficiency/productivity

improvement and higher containerization, (4) GST led positives for both road and rail

operators, (4) changing economics of road operators with respect to gradual reduction in

overloading (improving monitoring and implementation), implementation of electronic toll

collection, movement in fuel prices, etc. We elucidate on each of the points below:

Source and destination of container traffic: In Exhibit 1 and 2, we highlight eleven

major industrial clusters in India which constitute around 85% of the cargo traded by

India globally (around 60% is concentrated in North and West based states). As can be

seen below, the source and destination of container traffic is getting concentrated either

closer to the ports (industrial clusters in Gujarat and Maharashtra, where DFC will have

limited impact) or close to the hinterlands (NCR, Punjab, Haryana, etc., where DFC will

have a positive impact). The shorter lead distances to and from inland destinations may

not necessitate rail transportation. Also in certain longer lead distances, lower volumes or

the lack of two-way traffic inhibits introducing container train services, in the present

pricing scheme.

Feedback from industry participants suggests that around 65-70% of traffic is already

getting handled by rail, from western based ports, to key hinterland markets in the

National Capital Region (NCR). At present, of the ~2.7 mn TEUs of EXIM trade carried by

Indian rail, around 0.9 mn TEUs is captured by north based ICDs (Appendix I). These

points indicate that the benefit for a container rail operator, post commissioning of DFC,

spurt that is widely expected.

Shift or higher growth in major cargo centres (especially north) only post

commissioning of DFC and DMIC: Any major shift or higher growth in trade at the

existing major cargo centres can only happen post commissioning of the DFC and

supplemented by the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) project.

We note that in anticipation of DFC/DMIC commissioning and medium-term demand

increase, a large amount of capacity addition (eventual capacity) has already materialized

or work is already under progress, driven by (1) Kathuwas (300 acres, eventual capacity of

1.5 mn TEUs) and supported by (2) JM Baxi’s Delhi International Cargo Terminal (DICT)

(65 acres, 0.25 mn capacity) and GDPL’s Faridabad (70 acres, 0.35 mn eventual capacity).

Our analysis indicates an overall quantum (eventual capacity) of ~5.3 mn TEUs (Exhibit 4)

of which about 20% is utilized presently.

The aforesaid ICDs are strategically located to cover growing industrial hubs in NCR

(Gurgaon, Manesar, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Bhiwadi, Rewari, Dharuhera, Neemrana,

Hisar, Panipat, Sonepat). With better rail connectivity, post DFC commissioning, these

industrial hubs are going to blossom providing good long-term growth opportunities for

container train operators.

In the long-term we will see emergence of new industrial corridors as initial work has

already begun on the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial corridor (DMIC). The DMIC project aims to

develop industrial zones spanning six north-western states in India over a period of 30

years. The project influence includes parts of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat,

Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. A band of 150 km to 200km has been chosen on

both the sides of the western DFC to be developed as the DMIC. In addition to the

influence region, DMIC will also include development of requisite feeder rail and road

connectivity to the hinterland and markets and select ports along the western coast. At

present work on two industrial nodes, Dholera in Gujarat and Shendra in Maharashtra

has started and the Phase-I will be completed by FY2020. We note that three of the

seven nodes being developed in the Phase-I (to be completed by FY2020) are in

the NCR belt (Exhibit 8).

DFC led efficiency/productivity improvement and higher containerization: Benefits

from DFC for a rail operator would flow through higher efficiency/productivity gains

(higher double-stacking, lesser investment in wagons, faster turnaround- 360 containers

per train in around 24 hours from JNPT to NCR vs. 90 containers in around 40-50 hours,

at present). Higher double stacking would also help capture light-weight cargo from road

on better price competitiveness. Freeing up of capacity by DFC, coupled with increase in

port-handling capacity and ICD handling capacity would also support higher

containerization (present at around 52% vs. around 75% for developing economies).

The pricing of DFC network to be charged by Indian Railways (IR) to rail operators has not

been revealed, so far. Based on past experience, pricing can be initially stiff leaving lower

benefits for rail operators and multiple iterations are likely by IR before an ideal price mix

is found that balances the overall objectives of IR and rail operators.

Exhibit 9: Salient features of DFC project

Improvement in Exim imbalance. Increased instance of imbalance leads to de-stuffing

of excess imports at the container freight stations (CFS). Double-stacking has to some

extent reduced the impact of exim imbalance on rail operators. Still continued weakness

in exports versus imports would lead to fluid movement of traffic between road and rail.

GST would improve offering of both roads and railways. Implementation of Goods

& Services tax (GST) will remove multiple points of taxation and help improve the overall

logistics chain of the country.

For rail operators, domestic transportation is a big opportunity once DFC (capacity added,

double stacking takes out imbalance) and GST (bundling of throughput, warehousing

facilities) resolves the problem of return traffic for the domestic leg (north-east traffic).

Also once GST becomes a reality, the hub and spoke model would become the

mainstream mode of warehousing. As for trailer operators, implementation of GST would

also benefit in terms of time and related-cost savings. Transport Corporation of India

Limited (TCIL) estimates that 40% of the time lost by trailer operators is due to stoppages

at state border check-posts.

Road operators- cost savings possible once electronic tolling becomes mainstream.

To expedite the toll collection process, India should gradually move towards electronic toll

collection (ETC). Implementation of ETC will not only reduce congestions and long queues

at toll plazas, but also reduce operating costs for toll operators and plug revenue leakage.

Presently most toll plazas are operated on a manual basis. Related stoppages add almost

5% to the time of an average trip (based on TIL study for Delhi-Mumbai route). This time

delay has two cost components: (1) time and (2) fuel. From a time perspective, the cost

impact is a 2% addition to trip expenses. The second cost element is related to the

additional fuel consumption at such check-posts. While it is difficult to quantify this

impact, a sensitivity of mileage to trip expenses suggests the potential of improvement in

the range of 5-10% on this count.

Road operators- Reduction in instances of overloading to be a negative. NHAI has

been focusing on reducing overloading in the backdrop of increasing number of road

accidents and fatalities on national highways. It asked select key toll plazas to install

weighing machines in March 2012 and in October 2013, enforced strict penalties for

overweight vehicles (10X of base fare +unloading of excess cargo). Our analysis of select

road assets suggest that road operators have started levying such penalties against

oversized vehicles, though their collections do not reflect the large share of such over-

sized vehicles getting penalized. There is also a proposal to invoke the “Prevention of

Damage to Public Property Act, 1984” to seize the vehicle and arrest the driver of

oversized vehicles. The above steps taken suggest seriousness of the Indian government

to reduce overloading. As this happens, the competitiveness of truck drivers would

reduce, relative to rail operators. This should help railways gain market share from road

operators for long-distance container transport.

Road operators more levered to fuel cost changes. As per TCIL, fuel accounts for

about 47% of the cost of operating a trailer (including overhead). Costing (and thus

pricing) for roads thus may remain fluid on the basis of changes in fuel price. This can

impede/support shift of traffic to rail from roads. No major growth witnessed in Road

Freight Index (weighted average freight rates compiled across various routes) over the

past several years despite increasing diesel price trend indicates low demand and lack of

pricing power for the industry. Accordingly, rail operator increasingly becoming more cost

competitive isn’t great news for road operators.

Gateway Rail: Improving EXIM offering when it matters; has sufficient capacity

to reap benefits

As a part of our Delhi visit, we interacted with the management of Gateway Rail on business

prospects and followed it up with a visit to their Garhi Harsaru ICD terminal. The

management was confident of capturing overall business growth opportunities as well as

any potential shift of traffic (from Tughlakabad, especially for the traffic not

consumed/originating from NCR) based on (1) it having sufficient capacities, (2) superior

customer relationship and technological offerings and (3) improving double-stacking

offering (once Virangam becomes operational).

Shift of traffic in NCR to happen: Concor’s Tughlakabad ICD volume may gradually

reduce NGT pressure; especially for the traffic not consumed/originating from NCR. Also

increase in relevance of Concor’s Kathuwas as an ICD terminal would be a function of

ramp-up in local demand and establishment of an ecosystem. Both may take time. GDPL

may thus benefit from growth in NCR region (Garhi Harsaru has 10% market share and

has capacity to grow volumes 4X).

….at a time when GDPL is improving its double-stacking offering. The offering of

GDPL for double-stacking would improve for traffic from Garhi Harsaru to western ports

(Mundra/Pipavav/JNPT) once Virangam terminal (near Ahmedabad) gets set up. The

terminal with railway siding and container yard will be constructed over 35 acres of land

acquired and is expected to be operational within a year. Then GDPL can avail the

benefits of double-stacking for all key port traffic over a distance of 850 km. Concor’s

Swaroopgunj (linked to Kathuwas) would provide the same flexibility minus the benefits

of hub-and-spoke pricing (distance between Swaroopgunj and Kathuwas at less than 750

km does not satisfy minimum distance between hubs required for hub-and-spoke

pricing). Still benefits of double-stacking (50% of haulage cost for second stack) would

help improve Concor’s offering.

Increasing instance of double-stacking. While double stacking is happening at

present, its incidence would increase once the loading permissible on wagons and track

gets increased. Eventually all container traffic would start getting double-stacked against

the present case of 30-40% share of double-stacking. The key to increasing amount of

double-stacking is to increase wagon load to 68 tons and eventually to 75 tons (once DFC

starts) from 61.2 tons at present. At 61.2 tonne wagon load threshold, light-weight FEUs

are essential to a double-stack combination. On the DFC track and with new rail

infrastructure, more such combinations would be possible, increasing the share of

Railway services. The terminal runs 3-4 rains per week to JNPT, 4-5 trains each to

Mundra and Pipavav and regular reefer services to Kalamboli, Navi Mumbai. The terminal

runs double-stack services to Mundra and Pipavav and single-stack services to JNPT.

Road connectivity. The ICD is about 9 kms away from the key NH-8 highway and thus is

well connected to key industrial hubs.

Infrastructure. The ICD has four full length rail lines and one sick line (for repair of

affected rail). All its trailers are fitted with GPS. The RFID trackers help customer access

the exact location of containers. All containers within the ICD premises get tracked on a

regular basis (through night-vision binoculars in the night). It has 150,000 sq meters of

container yards and 15,000 square meters of bonded warehouse.

Container contents. Exports consist of automobile parts, specialty chemicals, steel coils,

frozen meat, fisheries, grapes, copper strips. Imports are shredded scraps, steel coils, auto

parts, white goods, ply board, etc.

Tughlakabad. Tughlakabad has for long been the bastion of Concor in the northern

hinterland. It is unique in terms of (1) scale, (2) location for capturing the NCR market and

(3) a well-established eco-system. As claims of pollution caused by diesel trailers and limited

land capacity limit further growth at the terminal, Concor has started operationalizing

alternate ICD capacities (Kathuwas, Sonepat, Surnasi). Key among these is Kathuwas, 3X the

acreage of Tughlakabad and situated on the DFC. While the ICD would come up in phases,

the current capacity at Kathuwas would support shift of traffic from Tughlakabad and thus

add to Concor’s ICD capacity in the northern hinterland. Over the next six months,

Kathuwas would also start supporting new traffic from nearby industrial belts. Eventually,

Kathuwas has the potential to become hub for industrial activity in key sectors.

Tughlakabad ICD: Unique in scale; limited growth potential

Location and market served. ICD Tughlakabad (TKD), flagship terminal of Concor, is

situated near Okhla Industrial Area (southeast of Delhi) and is spread over 109 acres of

land. Its hinterland comprises of all states of Northern and Western India. It has a well-

developed ecosystem housing offices of customs, bank, shipping Lines, CHAs and

surveyors.

Throughput. Tughlakabad’s average throughput is around 38,500 TEUs per month, and

the ICD is operating at its peak volumes. There are four rail lines and on an average 15

trains are handled daily.

Exhibit 22: Static volumes at the Tughlakabad port Container volumes at key terminals (TEUs)

Railway services. The ICD handles rail containers through daily train services to the

Gateway ports (Mumbai, Nhava Sheva, Pipavav, Mundra, Chennai). The ICD also caters to

containers brought by roads from other ports such as Haldia, Calcutta and Kandla, etc.

Road connectivity. The ICD touches NH-2 and is conveniently located, having approach

to major roads in Delhi connecting all National Highways leading out of the state.

Infrastructure. The ICD has four full length rail lines in the customs area. It is equipped

with modern facilities such as rail mounted gantry of 40 metric ton empty lifting capacity,

rubber tyre diesel powered cranes, billoties and lift trucks. It has two covered sheds, one

for import (6,000 square meters) and another for export (10,000 square meters) with a

total area of 16,000 sq. mts. In addition, there are two bonded warehouses spread over

8,500 square metres.

Container contents. On the export side, major items include leather garments and

leather products, readymade garments, machinery and agricultural products etc.

Commodities being imported include chemicals, accessories of motors, plastics and

articles, copper rods, copper wire etc.

Static throughput constrained by rail capacity. Tughlakabad’s average throughput is

38,500 TEUs per month, and ICD is operating at over 100% land capacity. It is trying to

free some more land. Rail capacity remains a bottle-neck and that would get relieved

once DFC comes about (as transportation time would reduce).

Some potential for increase in Concor’s northern throughput. Once Kathuwas

becomes operational, 30% of non-NCR traffic would shift there and thus lead to growth

in Concor’s northern throughput. Concor would also be able to shift some of its traffic to

other upcoming ICDs (Sonepat and Surnasi).

Limited rail share at ports may not be the case for hinterland locations. We note a

25:75 mix of rail:road freight at ports. Within ports, this mix is even more in favor of

roads at JNPT and slightly more balanced at Mundra and Pipavav. This is reflected in

Concor having a market share (rail+road) of 15% and 45% at Pipavav. The share is lower

at Mundra at 15% due to other considerations (Adani Logistics has material share). In

contrast, the mix of freight in the hinterland is likely to be more in favor of rail with roads

having a minority share. For such long distances, road is an inferior mode of transport

(chances of theft, pricing is more expensive, Mumbai clearing for Delhi cargo is also

difficult).

Kathuwas ICD: Behemoth in the making; key beneficiary of DFC

Location and markets served. The terminal is located in Rajasthan, about 29 km from

Neemrana and 35 km from Rewari. It is spread over 290 acres and can handle an

eventual capacity of 1.5 mn TEUs. It is strategically located to cover the industrial hubs in

Rajasthan (Bhiwadi, Rewari, Dharuhera, Neemrana). Apart from Japanese and South

Korean industrial belt coming near Neemrana, the terminal can benefit from potential

hubs coming around Kathuwas (steel, fertilizers, cement, oil).

Throughput. The management expects the terminal to get custom notified as an ICD in

coming few weeks. It then aims to handle new export traffic of 2,000-3,000 TEUs per

month and import traffic of 1,500-2,000 TEUs per month in FY2016.

Connectivity. The ICD is about 25 kms away from the key NH-8 highway and touches

state highway 26.

Services. The present services at the ICD are limited as it is being used as a transshipment

terminal at present. Double-stacked traffic comes from/goes to Mundra and Pipavav. The

second stack of traffic gets off-loaded/loaded at Kathuwas ICD. Apart from exim services,

the ICD also handles domestic cargo for cars (from Maharashtra) and Copper (to Ooty)

where its warehousing service is also being used.

Infrastructure. The ICD has two full length existing rail lines and aims to add three more

lines over time. It has three warehouses, one each for exports, imports and domestic

cargo. The domestic warehouse is spread over 3,000 square meters. Key USP for the

terminal is that it is located on the western DFC and thus can handle 360 TEU capacity

trains. Its 1.3 km rail siding is appropriate for handling long, double-stacked trains.

Container contents. Exports include auto parts (Hero), chemicals, electronics, stones

and diapers. Imports include polyester yarn, chemicals, air conditioner parts, coils,

television parts.
